swept up
by a broom
made of peacock feathers
teal and crimson
mixed in
with bits of heart
and soul
so gentle the motion
no bruising of
devotion
so to hold on
to the hope
that you won’t let me go
I gave you my dreams
then later my words
I gave you my fears
but kept back
one or two
hid away
the darkest truth
from the flame of your eyes
the one fear
where I was to lose you
too
so just where do I find
filament of filigree
thread of gossamer
strong
to bind you to me
so how do I ask
when all words are muted
please
don’t
go
on
without
me

beautiful imagery capturing the emotions
"filaments of filigree"
a title perhaps

A feather is free....peacocks color so much of me....and to hold on is to lose something beautiful.  

You've captured a feeling here so beautifully.

Midnightsun and I agree....the title should be "filament of filigree" - - thought I'd be the first to suggest it but, should have known....

enjoyed..

Thank you all. I have taken your suggestion, as I hope you noticed. I appreciate the help as this was more an outpouring and that singular feature (title) evaded me. Again, my sincere thanks.

Sandra

oh!

"so just where do I find
filament of filigree
thread of gossamer
strong
to bind you to me"

Sandra,  so much feeling within this poem.
Great job of writing...Those fears can be
real and hopefully can also be taken away
slowly.

Magnus,
I read your work and I envision the hope they will be, taken away that is. But, not all men are as you, such a rarity.

Amazing, very nice indeed. I love the title, it's perfect. I miss reading your poetry, very refreshing. Cheers    - Ed

Once you are truly insane, it’s all picnics with Kafka after that. See, it’s the process of going crazy that you gotta worry about.
